Robot Helper Design Challenge

Bellville
Junior High School: Ms. Cubage's class

Name: P.E.T.

Meaning
of Name: P.E.T. stands for Planetary Exploration Team.
Purpose: To be able to explore other planets, to see the planet at
a human’s point of view, then to gather samples of the planet,
and send them back to the space station.

Movement:
Standing up-right and moving almost just like a human, can fly through
space to get to what ever planet it is going to.

Power
Source: Has gas to help not use other power source so that it can
last longer on planet, the source that it uses while on the planet
is two very powerful long lasting batteries.

Description:
Is six foot tall and stands up right just like a human, it has super
human strength to were he can never die unless the batteries die.

How You
Will Know One P.E.T. From Another P.E.T.: Each P.E.T will be color
coded in a similar color to its planet and since these are like a
human each one should have its own features. Like say if one has a
really big nose and another has a little nose, and one has really
long fingers and another has short fingers. All these robots will
have their own names. The first on will be named P.E.T. 1 and the
tenth one made would be P.E.T. 10. All these robots would be able
to respond to its own name no matter were a P.E.T. is not even if
it is all the way on Pluto.

P.E.T. Will Respond To Every Command: P.E.T. Will be able to respond
to every command no matter if it is in mid-space on the way to Pluto
and the space will tell it to turn around.

What
it does: he can stand any kind of extreme heat or cold without melting
or freezing, it can take samples of the air and surroundings, it has
a 300 horse power motor to where it can go up to 300 miles in up to
five minutes, it can write down descriptions of what happened if the
space station or satellite lose a signal and does not receive it back,
and it will be able to fly back and forth on up to four forty gallon
tanks of diesel.

What
is On the Robot: There is a sort of nose on it, a mouth a lot of joints
on it so that it can bend just like a human, it also has to eyes like
human but they are two different kind of cameras, it also has four
gas tanks that would hold diesel, and it have four very powerful batteries.

How the Nose Works and What it is for: The nose is like a human nose
except when it takes its first and one of very few breaths it takes
an air sample and stores in an airtight jar to were it can only be
opened by a code. Every earth day it is on the planet on every twelve
to twenty-four hours.

How the
Mouth Works and What it is For: The mouth is how the pieces of ground,
rock, and other types of materials are put into containers. It picks
up the material with it hand and then shoves in its mouth along with
some of the planets atmosphere then it goes into an air tight container
wear there it can be only opened with a code.

How
the joints work and What They Are For: The joints are so that the
robot can bend down and back up with out it having any trouble at
all. They are also so that they can open and close the nostrils and
mouth.

How the
Eyes Work and What They Are For: There are actually two eyes but they
are not really eyes at all they are actually video cameras. These
two cameras do two different things at the same time. The left camera
shows a live video of what it is doing it can even turn the eye to
were there is another whole so that it can see from the back of its
head as well. What I mean by live though is that it transmits to the
space station while it is recording. The right eye is actually recording
to were it even records it traveling the only time it shuts off is
when it is either turned off manually or all the tanks are out of
gas and there is no batteries power left. The camera records everything
that happens.

What
the gas Tanks and Batteries Do and What They are For: The gas tanks
are only for the travels to and from the space station. These would
be able to hold up to a hundred gallons 400 gallons a tank. The reason
why they should use diesel is because one it is for very big moving
objects and it would also save a lot of money. The batteries
are for the time spent on the planet. These batteries can last any
were from one to two weeks each.
